Sony Edge Analytics Appliance for Video Conferencing – REA-C1000

The Sony REA-C1000 is an edge analytics appliance that adds auto framing, handwriting extraction and gesture close-up to lecture capture and video conferencing. It accepts 4K 30p video on HDMI In 1 and streams H.264 over RTSP and RTMP. Several functions need feature licences, and a 60-day trial licence is built in. Procure.ae supplies the Sony REA-C1000 across the UAE.

The REA-C1000 applies analytics to the video it receives, and several advanced functions are unlocked by separate licences. Handwriting extraction uses REA-L0100, PTZ auto framing and tracking use REA-L0200, close-up by gesture uses REA-L0300, chromakey-less CG overlay uses REA-L0400 and focus area cropping uses REA-L0500. Fixed area cropping crops the static area of the whole view at once. HDMI In 1 takes up to 4K 30p, HDMI In 2 takes up to Full HD 60p, and HDMI Out 1 outputs up to 4K 30p.

Use the REA-C1000 in lecture halls, training rooms and meeting spaces that need automatic camera framing or streamed output. It streams with RTSP and RTMP using H.264 at up to 1920 x 1080 at 30p and supports IPv4 and IPv6. Role-based authorisation provides one administrator and nine general users, and access can be restricted to specific computers. The web interface runs in Google Chrome 70 or later. The unit measures 141 x 97 x 91 mm (W x H x D), weighs about 0.85 kg and operates from 5 to 40 °C.
